2001 5.4 CHT sensor location

Does anyone know the location of the CHT (Cylinder Head Temp) sensor on a 5.4 and where is a good reference for directions on replacing it?

It's under the intake manifold, left front corner. You have to remove the intake to get to it. I'd suggest a Chiltons or Haynes manual and follow their intake R&R instructions.

if you pull the alternator off you can get at the sensor.

what tool did you use once you could see it? I dont have anything that gets a good bite. Deep well wont fit under the intake over the sensor
update: grinded off the end of a bent box end wrench to make it fir betwwen the sensor and the fan. Job complete.
